===Meaning===
A '''plant''' is an [[organism]] that makes its own food.
===About Plants===
: '''Plants''' usually have a part of them that is green. Most often this is their [[Leaf|leaves]], but some '''plants''' have no [[Leaf|leaves]] like a cactus.
: Some '''plants''' are [[Undomesticated Plant|wild]] and other '''plants''' are [[Domesticated Plant|cultivated]].
: We get [[Fruit|fruits]] and [[Vegetables|vegetables]] from some '''plants''' but some '''plants''' have [[Toxic|poisonous]] [[fruit]] that we can't eat.
====Survival====
: To survive a '''plant''' needs [[water]], warmth and light.
: An adult '''plant''' will [[Wilting|wilt]] if it does not get enough [[water]] and then it could die.
: An adult '''plant''' will die if it gets too cold and [[Wilting|wilt]] and then die it if gets too hot.
: An adult '''plant''' will not be able to make its own food if there is not enough light so the '''plant''' will lose its [[Leaf|leaves]] and go into a [[dormant]] state.
====Germination====
: When a [[seed]] is planted, if the conditions are right it will [[Germination|germinate]] and start to grow into an adult '''plant'''.
: If there is not enough [[water]], and it is too cold or too hot, the [[seed]] will not [[Germination|germinate]].
